The opdA (prlC) gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli encodes the metalloprotease oligopeptidase A (OpdA). We report that opdA is cotranscribed with a downstream open reading frame, yhiQ. Transcription of this operon is induced after a temperature shift (30 to 42 degrees C), and this ind…

Oxygen ion and neutral atom yields were measured for ${\mathrm{O}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{O}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ ions incident on a clean Cu(001) surface for ion energies from 0.4 to 5 keV. Scattering geometries were chosen that simplify the selection of single collisions between the incident ions and surface atoms and con…

The local environment of Cm3+ in a borosilicate glass has been probed by a combination of laser spectroscopy, structural modeling, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The Stark splitting for the Cm f–f state transitions is significantly larger than the inhomogeneous line broadening that…

Magnetic and magnetostrictive properties have been investigated for amorphous (Tb0.27Dy0.73)(Fe1−xCox)2 thin films. An increase in the 3d magnetic moment due to the enhancement of T–T interactions in substituted (Fe, Co) alloys was found. This leads to stronger R–(Fe, Co) exchange energies and then to enhancements of…

The electronic properties and the crystal structure of layered perovskite-related niobates ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}{\mathrm{La}}_{y}{\mathrm{NbO}}_{3.5\ensuremath{-}x}$ can be tuned by gradually changing the oxygen stoichiometry. We have studied the electronic structure of this series in detail by angle-integ…

The changes in the photoconductivity of hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:H) with nitrogen incorporation were studied. Low level nitrogen incorporation improves the photoconductivity, by shifting the Fermi level upwards in the band gap. Films with a photosensitivity of about 200 at room temperature under…

Novel thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) consisting of poly(isobutylene-b-indene) (PIB-b-PInd) arms radiating from hexamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D) cores were prepared, characterized, and their properties investigated. The syntheses of these star-blocks involved the linking by hydrosilation of PInd-b-PIBCH2CHCH2 prearm…

The photophysical and structural features of a series of linear, Aib-based peptides were investigated in methanol solution. These compounds have the general formula P(Aib) n N, where Aib is α-aminoisobutyric acid, N naphthalene, and P the monomethylated protoporphyrin IX, the two latter molecules being covalently atta…

The molecular structure of the formal iron(IV) porphyrinate derivative, [[Fe(TTP)]2N]SbCl6 (TTP = tetratolylporphyrinate), is reported. The structural parameters are compared to the previously reported species [Fe(TPP)]2N, in which the iron oxidation state is +3.5. Both the equatorial and axial bond distances in [[Fe(…

The helical twisting power βM determines the pitch of the chiral nematic phase produced when a nematic liquid crystal is doped with a low concentration of chiral solute molecules. Molecules with large βM values have potential applications in electro-optic displays and in optical data storage. This paper describes a ne…

The results of a detailed molecular-dynamics study of the growth of amorphous carbon $(a\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{C})$ are reported. Carbon atoms with kinetic energies between 10 and 150 eV are deposited on $a\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{C}$ surface originating from bulk $a\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{C}.$ Earlier simulation results of…

We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of SPC/E water confined in a realistic model of a silica pore. The single-particle dynamics have been studied at ambient temperature for different hydration levels. The confinement near the hydrophilic surface makes the dynamic behaviour of the liquid strongly d…

We report the development of compound dyes which have tunable emission wavelengths, from 520 to 680 nm, and simultaneously tunable excited-state lifetimes, ranging from 50 to 500 μs. Future work is expected to extend these ranges yet further. The compound dyes are made of a lanthanide donor with a millisecond lifetime…
